"Shepherd's Pie": a low-budget half hour program that was a masterpiece of simplicity. It had no studio audience, and used a bare set where Jean Shepherd sat on a folding chair, giving his famous monologues, talking about his childhood, commenting on some historical facts, or even talking about the many attractions of New Jersey, past and present. Features often included field taping of Jean in various New Jersey locales, giving his commentary on the area. Often there were rolling landscapes during autumn, strange landmarks, historical sites, or simply him driving his car, talking about a driving trip he took as a child. There were never any guest speakers, but frequently, there were guest musicians who performed at "The Palm Court", a fake restaurant that was the same set, decorated with ornate decor and plastic plants. The acts were as quirky as Jean himself, including a duo of a tuba player and bass singer, and a woman who played jazz music on a harp. This deserves to be re-released onto home video. If not for New Jerseyans (both current and expatriate), then for those who treasure his work, or have just discovered it.
